Those final Christmas projects

Finishing up those last Christmas presents. I think I’m going to make it!

Some are turning out even better than I thought

(including some that can not be shared publicly at this time.)

Some are not. (This is not gingerbread.) Just keeping it real.

Nevertheless, our cookie making has been mostly successful. These are the cookies my 4-yr-old decorated for his Sunday School teacher. I’m always tempted to make them myself and have them look “classy” (hah). Then I remember that it would be even better if I actually let the children participate. And it’s okay (if not even more awesome) if they look like they were decorated by a 4-yr-old. My favorite is the angel that looks like a ghost. I wonder what Martha’s projects would look like if she allowed more 4-yr-olds in the studio . . .

I just came across your blog while looking for anything that will help me get started on my 1st quilt, I bought the material today but am so nervous to start. You have some emany beautiful quilts on your blog and I adore the messenger bag.

I love the bags and love the participatory cookies – letting kids make things less perfect than you can is the best way to give them the confidence to keep making things (which is of course the only way to get them better).

Hi,<br />I really must say that you have a great blog and you make very beautiful quilts. I have made an table runner from your tutorial. You can see it on my blog, wich is on swedish, but you can see the pictures. <br />/Camilla
